Sunny apartment in Alfama
A solid mid-market listing with strong location appeal, but it underperforms top Alfama comps on photos, title keywords, and amenity signals. Your cover image and title miss the balcony and golden-hour light that drive clicks in this neighbourhood. Closing three high-impact gaps — hero photo, title rewrite, and workspace/self check-in tags — could realistically move you from #6 to the top third of your market within a few booking cycles.
